Five on Friday

Happy Friday, y’all! We’ve successfully {for the most part} finished our second week of fasting and while I’d like to say “it’s great! so easy. you should totally do it”, all I can think about is how hungry I am. I’ve been reminding myself constantly why we are doing this and when all I want to do is eat a whole box of Oreo’s, I’ve been praying for strength to not give in! The struggle has been real.

I’m linking up with all kinds of fun ladies today {darci, karli, amanda, tif, andrea} and you should too!

ONE | Happy 9th birthday, Gracie girl! Where in the world has the time gone?? I promise you that just yesterday, she could lie stretched out on my lap, and then I blinked and she’s texting and likes coffee.

She’s gone from a crazy-haired wild child to a smart, loving little girl with such a kind soul. She’s reserved around strangers but talks 90 mph when she gets to know you. She’s witty, way too clever for her age, {always has been!} and has a sass about her that stuns me sometimes!  From the day she was born, she’s had us all wrapped around that little finger!

I think what I’m most excited about though is celebrating tonight with pizza. I mean, we couldn’t tell her no, right??

TWO | Have y’all seen this mashup? Two of my favorite songs right now!

THREE | I have to be honest, y’all. I’m not really feeling Valentine’s day this year. It’s not that I don’t want to celebrate my valentine, I mean who wouldn’t want to celebrate this cutie?

I’m just not prepared whatsoever. Last year, I was on my A-game. This year, I don’t even have a card.

FOUR | Speaking of last year, if you need any last minute ideas, check out the 12 days of Valentine’s I did for Cory, including a link to the printables.

FIVE | Obviously, we are keeping Valentine’s low-key this year {which isn’t really that different than years past} but we were stumped as to what to do on Saturday until I came across this post by Lisa.

Valentine's

We decided to geocaching Saturday afternoon and then we plan to move our mattress into the living room, light a fire, and have dinner and a movie in bed. Perfection, if you ask me!

Just in case you need a few more ideas that won’t break the bank, check out these that Biana shared!

One last thing…did y’all see Scandal last night??? What did you think? I think it was better than the last couple episodes. I find myself tensed up just waiting to see what’s gonna happen next and I haven’t felt that way about a show in forever!

Happy Valentine’s day, y’all! I hope you all get to spend lots of time with the one you love!
